Hello,
a topic that I have never studied in depth and therefore I ask you for an explanation as simple as possible.
In one of the many FreeBSD installation tutorials I remember seeing it suggested to also set up the microcode update which I think is possible for both Intel and AMD CPUs.
I have an Intel processor and FreeBSD 13.1
What does this type of update entail, can there be risks and what is the best way to do it?
I found this link but I wanted to ask the community first and wait for your advice.
Thank you all.

Update Intel Microcode on FreeBSD - Thomas-Krenn-Wiki
FreeBSD provides support for updating the microcode of a processor at startup or at runtime. In this article, we use a server running FreeBSD 12.0 to show how to check the Intel Microcode version and how to install newer microcode versions if necessary.
